Top 11 "La Liga" players - without L.Messi and C.Ronaldo

D

uring the holy period, a usual sight at the top of the "La Liga" championship - the first three positions are shared by "Barcelona" and both Madrid clubs. However, not all famous league players justified the hopes placed on them for various reasons, so they did not deserve to enter the best eleven of footballers, which was compiled by the website goal.com.

Top "La Liga" players until the festive period

Goalkeeper - Jan Oblak ("Atletico"). The Slovenian goalkeeper is one of the most important players, cementing the impenetrable "Atletico" defense. This is illustrated by just 8 goals conceded.

Defender - Juanfran ("Atletico"). The experienced 30-year-old defender not only performs his duties excellently but also poses a threat to the opponents' goal.

Defender - Shkodran Mustafi ("Valencia"). The 23-year-old German was one of the leaders in coach Nuno Espirito Santo's team and it is certain that his status will not change under the leadership of Gary Neville.

Defender - Diego Godin ("Atletico"). Experienced, cool-headed, and excellent in the air. The Uruguayan and the other members of the defense, Stefan Savic and Jose Gimenez, demonstrate mutual understanding and form a solid line against opponents' attackers.

Defender - Marcelo ("Real"). The Brazilian is rightfully considered the best left-back in the world. He not only confidently stops opponents' attacks but also constantly poses a threat on the other side of the field.

Midfielder - Sergio Busquets ("Barcelona"). An indispensable player in the "Barcelona" lineup for five consecutive years. He intercepts balls and initiates the club's attacks.

Midfielder - Luka Modric ("Real"). When the Madrid club plays without the creative Croat, the picture on the field is completely different. Luka's passes often become the last touch before the attackers score.

Midfielder - Raul Garcia ("Athletic"). A significantly improved player demonstrating excellent understanding together with team mate Aritz Aduriz.

Forward - Lucas Perez ("Deportivo"). Having scored 12 goals already, the sniper is aiming to make it into the final lineup of the Spanish national team in the upcoming European Championship.

Forward - Neymar ("Barcelona"). Leading in the "La Liga" championship in terms of goals scored (14) and filling in superbly for the injured Lionel Messi.

Forward - Imanol Agirretxe ("Real Sociedad"). Showing the best form of his career, the longtime "Sociedad" player with 12 goals is saving his team from relegation to the second division.
